Kurt Vonnegut was born in Indianapolis in 1922. He studied at the universities of Chicago and Tennessee and later began to write short stories for magazines. His first novel, Player Piano, was published in 1951 and since then he has written many novels, among them: The Sirens of Titan (1959), Mother Night (1961), Cat's Cradle (1963), God Bless You Mr Rosewater (1964), Welcome to the Monkey House; a collection of short stories (1968), Breakfast of Champions (1973), Slapstick, or Lonesome No More (1976), Jailbird (1979), Deadeye Dick (1982), Galapagos (1985), Bluebeard (1988) and Hocus Pocus (1990). During the Second World War he was held prisoner in Germany and was present at the bombing of Dresden, an experience which provided the setting for his most famous work to date, Slaughterhouse Five (1969). He has also published a volume of autobiography entitled Palm Sunday (1981) and a collection of essays and speeches, Fates Worse Than Death (1991).
Billy Pilgrim is the son of an American barber. He serves as a chaplain's assistant in World War II, is captured by the Germans, and he survives the largest massacre in European history the fire bombing of Dresden.

So begins a modern classic by a master storyteller.
德累斯顿是德国东部萨克森州的首府,其在德国东部是仅次于首都柏林的第二大城市,二战纳粹德国战败后,德国被同盟国所接管,美国接管西德,苏联接管了东德。不久之后东德这边树立了一个纪念碑,上面的宣传画中有满溢兴奋的德国男女和孩子,上面还用大写字母写着“向苏联人民军...
评分“You know what I say to people when I hear they’re writing anti-war books?” “No. What do you say, Harrison Starr?” “I say, ‘Why don’t you write an anti-glacier book instead?’ ” (Vonnegut 3) Just as Kurt Vonnegut humorously suggests in the introduc...
评分“事情就是这样”。 很平淡的一句话。永远跟在与“死亡”相关的一切事情的后面。想去抗争,却没有能力,只能默默接受。想贲发出来,却没有了气力,但是又不能保持沉默,只有将所有的残酷都挤压到这一句话里,麻木里包含有着太多的无奈。对死亡的淡淡的苍白无力的表述,就好像抽...
评分像往常一样,看英文小说我容易忽略细节,所以说得不见得准确... For an anti-war novel, it is certainly unconventional to start with ' Listen: Billy Pilgrim has come unstuck in time' and end with 'Poo-tee-weet'. When trying to approach something as majorly ca...
评分一本诉极哀伤的书,是不让人流泪的。还好,常人的耳朵听不见悲音,所以才能活的自得,心无畏惧。 记得小时候有一度对生命的不可控性满怀忧怖。后来想开了,人既要享焚毁蚁穴之乐,必受自戮之苦。又有一个充满自我暗示功用的词语叫‘命运’,可为人生编织许多甜蜜的误会。 So ...
战争不可避免,死亡也是早已注定,整个宇宙的熵增总是无法逆转。So it goes. Why bothers at all?
评分将战争解构的有趣尝试,非线性的一生没有开始也没有终结,战俘营的伤寒与冻疮与乏味窒息的婚后中产生活同时存在,交互进行,被碎片化、荒谬化、进而消解,战争没有意义,婚姻没有意义,统统都没有意义,so it goes反复出现在文中,但如果冥冥中没有天命,你又该往何处去呢
评分Poo-Tee-Weet?
评分牛!比!
评分<五号屠场>...比较严肃的主题, 但写得很无厘头啊哈哈哈哈!
